Axminster Road, London, N7

***Video Tour on Instagram Available*** Impeccably designed home, this two-bedroom flat in Holloway explores volume and light to great effect. It forms part of a distinctive Art Deco Building named “The Drapery” that was designed in 1929 as a department store on the same principle as Selfridges in Oxford Street, but by the 1960’s with the general decline in popularity of this type of shopping, it had become predominantly offices. The Brooks Murray architect team preserved the building and converted them into 111 stunning apartments.

The Tour

Lift Access via fob entry onto the second floor. The front door opens to a well-considered hallway. As you turn right you are immediately greeted by the radiance of the main living area. This large open plan kitchen/living room defined by runs of minimalist white cabinetry and a reflective splash back, is the backdrop to a generous and sociable area for dining and entertaining guests.

The main bedroom sits at the rear of the plan. Laminate wood floorboards run underfoot and a wall of built-in wardrobes provides abundant hanging space. The double glazed windows stretch across the bedroom highlighted by roll down blinds. Both bedrooms are of a similar size and both offer flexible space where you can work from home as there is space to fit a study desk.

Also on this floor is the family bathroom with a three piece suite features a bath tub with a shower attachment, a rimless toilet and wash basin.

The Area

Seven Sisters Road has a wonderful vibe of old-school, local London neighbourhood feel. It is handily positioned for the bustle of Holloway and Finsbury Park on its doorstep. Local facilities, including supermarkets, can be found on Holloway and the area is awash with many good pubs and restaurants, including the Faltering Fallback in Finsbury Park and Dotori (a cool pan-asian restaurant)

The tranquillity of Highbury Fields, considered by many to be the jewel in Islington’s crown, lies a short stroll away and contains tennis courts, a playground and a swimming pool within Highbury Leisure Centre. Enjoy a film at the Odeon Lux in Holloway set in a charming Art Deco Building.

The flat enjoys excellent access to public transport. The Victoria, Piccadilly line and Thameslink at Finsbury Park is an 8 minute walk from the flat; There are plenty of bus routes both into and out of the West End and City.
